Can Arjuna beat Kumbhakarna in a fight?
Can Arjuna beat Kumbhakarna in a fight?
He cannot even scratch a single hair of Kumbhakarna. In fact, Kumbhakarna would devour everyone in Kurukshetra battlefield, if unleashed upon it. Kumbhakarna' single handedly defeated armies of devas and asuras several times in treta yuga. Just like a routine.
“For several times, in battles between gods and demons, you conquered the celestials and demons, after attacking them in the battle. O Kumbhakarna of terrible prowess! Therefore, show your entire prowess. There is indeed no one, in the entire beings, who is equal to you in strength."
Even Indra or Yama could'nt stand in his path.
"He is the powerful Kumbhakarna, the son of Visravasa. He conquered Yama and Indra in battle. There is no other demon, corresponding to the size of his body. O Rama! He conquered thousands of celestials, demons, a class of demi-gods, serpent demons, ogres, Gandharvas the celestial musicians, Vidyadharas the celestials artistes and Kinnaras (the semi-divine beings with the human form and the head of a horse) in battle."
The weapons of Devas and Asuras could only tickle him and even Indra's Vajra was merely able to make him angry and nothing more. Indra posessed weapons like Brahmashira and Vaishnavastra, still couldn't do anything against him. Kumbhakarna' plucked out Airavata’s tusk and pierced into Indra's heart.
That Mahendra wielding a thunder-bolt was enraged and struck Kumbhakarna with his weapon of the white thunderbolt. The great souled Kumbhakarna struck by Indra's thunderbolt was quite agitated at it and roared loudly with anger. Hearing the roar of that Kumbhakarna, the demon, who was howling loudly, the frightened people were further frightened."
"Enraged as he was on Mahendra, the mighty Kumbhakarna then pulled out a tusk of Airavata, Indra's elephant and struck it into Indra's chest. That Devendra, tormented by the hit of Kumbhakarna, was burning with rage. The celestials, Brahmanical sages and demons were suddenly aggrieved. Even Indra with his people went to the abode of Brahma the Lord of creation."
Power of celestial weapons depends on the user. And still Rama needed 4 celestial weapons back to back to kill Kumbhakarna. Speaking of Rama's energy, his normal arrows destroyed a divine spear of Makaraksha, which was built by Shiva. Yet these arrows couldn't even scratch Kumbhakarna. In fact, even the Roudrastra used by Ram was merely able to stun him and nothing more.
Compare that to Arjuna who failed to beat Brahmastras of like of Karna and Drona. His Brahmastra killed few hundred foot soldiers. With that, he won't be able to cause a dent to Kumbhakarna. The so called Mahapasupata could be able to tickle him, but that's the best it could do based on its feat(when used by Arjuna) of killing sixty thousand Kalakeyas and Poulomas. It won't be able to cause him any significant discomfort. Sure it could kill Kumbhakarna if used by someone with immense power. But Arjuna simply doesn't cut it.
Kumbhakarna' would feast of Pandavas' and Kauravas, and it won't even satisfy his hunger to be honest.
